REPORTING MODES
A summary of reporting modes based on model and measured parameters is outlined below:
The MWS’s weather reports are centered around discrete 10-second samples. These 10-second samples occur
at different intervals and are averaged differently depending on the set reporting mode. Details are as follows
for the different modes:
10-Second:
Single 10-second sample reported continuously.
20-Second:
Single 10-second sample reported every 20 seconds. (*This mode has a reduced sensitivity
to lightning when compared to the slower reporting modes.)
1-Minute:
Single 10-second sample reported every minute.
5-Minute:
This mode reports data in a similar fashion to FAA-based weather stations. 10-second
samples taken each 30 seconds and combined to report a 5-minute average. The last 4x 10-second
samples are averaged to also report last 2-minute wind average. Line power is required.
If not line
powered, unit will default back to 1-hour mode if the battery depletes below 5.2 V
. Max image
reporting speed of 1 set/hour.
20-Minute:
10x 10-second samples performed each minute in the last 10 minutes and averaged before
reporting every 20 minutes. Line power required if images requested, otherwise battery may deplete too
rapidly (C500/600 models only). Reports at 15, 35, and 55 minutes after the hour.
1-Hour (Default):
10x 10-second samples performed each minute in the last 10 minutesand averaged
before reporting every hour. Reports at 55 minutes after the hour.
3-Hour:
10x 10-second samples performed each minute in the last 10 minutes and averaged before
reporting every 3 hours. Reports every three hours at 55 minutes after the hour.
